JOYCAPS-type variables hold information about a joystick (not to be confused with the current position of the joystick). Namely, this structure holds the axes' ranges and the number of buttons the joystick has.

wMid

The manufacturer identifier of the device.

wPid

The product identifier of the device.

szPname

The name of the joystick's device driver.

wXmin

The minimum x-axis coordinate value.

wXmax

The maximum x-axis coordinate value.

wYmin

The minimum y-axis coordinate value.

wYmax

The maximum y-axis coordinate value.

wZmin

The minimum z-axis coordinate value.

wZmax

The maximum z-axis coordinate value.

wNumButtons

The number of buttons on the joystick.

wPeriodMin

The minimum supported polling frequency.

wPeriodMax

The maximum supported polling frequency.

wRmin

The minimum r-axis (rudder, fourth axis) coordinate value.

wRmax

The maximum r-axis (rudder, fourth axis) coordinate value.

wUmin

The minimum u-axis (fifth axis) coordinate value.

wUmax

The maximum u-axis (fifth axis) coordinate value.

wVmin

The minimum v-axis (sixth axis) coordinate value.

wVmax

The maximum v-axis (sixth axis) coordinate value.

wCaps

Zero or more flags specifying various capabilities or characteristics of the joystick:

JOYCAPS_HASPOV = &H10

Joystick provides point-of-view information.

JOYCAPS_HASR = &H2

Joystick provides rudder (fourth axis) information.

JOYCAPS_HASU = &H4

Joystick provides u-axis (fifth axis) information.

JOYCAPS_HASV = &H8

Joystick provides v-axis (sixth axis) information.

JOYCAPS_HASZ = &H1

Joystick provides z-axis information.

JOYCAPS_POV4DIR = &H20

Joystick's point-of-view indicator supports discrete values (e.g., centered, left, right, up, down, etc.).

JOYCAPS_POVCTS = &H40

Joystick's point-of-view indicator supports continuous degree bearings.

wMaxAxes

The maximum number of axes supported by the joystick.

wNumAxes

The number of axes currently used by the joystick.

wMaxButtons

The maximum number of buttons supported by the joystick.

szRegKey

The registry key that holds the joystick's information.

szOEMVxD

Identifies the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the joystick.
